THE HALF LOAF SCHEME.

AS evidence that the high license
scheme is a scheme for the liquor inter-
ests. compare the following paragraphs,
from high license papers:
"But until the people of this state are
better prepared to adopt and enforce
prohibition, the wiser method until an
advanced step can be taken, is to heavily
tax the sale of intoxicants. "-RenOshG
Telegraph. (High license.)
"At the same time, the practical in
dorsement of liquor selling by professed
advocates, through the en-
actment Of high license law, would be
a safeguard against prohibitory legisla-
ton. "-Nes0 York World. (High IL
cense.)
Augest 4, was the day of the Prohibi-
ton vote in Texas. The Chicago Mail
says: "The immense vote on the Pro-
hibltion question in Texas shows what
an interest there is on this subject in
the south. In fact interest is increasing
everywhere among the most intelligent
classes. 1t cannot be ignored in poll
tics and is becoming the great question
in social life."
The Wisconsin Prohibition offers
trial trip at ten cents month. Read
the paper and let your own conscience
and temperance principles have hear
ing.
They that license the sale of strong
drink, license gambling houses, license
license disease, license death,
license all suffering, all crime, all spoil
alton, all disaster, all murders, all woe.
1t is the courts and legislature that are
swinging wide open this grinding, creak-
ing, stupendous gate of the lost.

TO THE LOCAL UNIONS OF WISCONSIN
Dear SiSterS:-In the interest of the
new department of Social Purity which
our state assumed at the June Conven-
ton | beg leave to urge each local union,
that has not already done so, to appoint
a superintendent for this branch of
work, and to send the name and address
of the same TO me. / would earnestly
these superintendent, for their
own information and for circulation, to
supply themselves at once with the life
Of T. S. Stead and with all the many
helpful tracts and leaflets touching this
subject. which have been issued by the
Women's Temperance Publishing As
ISOLATION.
Lectures and literature must be our
great resource in this special line of
effort, even more than in other lines, to
arrest attention, to give knowledge, and
to arouse interest.
In furtherance of our work it is
that a meeting for moth
ers be held weekly or monthly, in con-
nection with or independent of the union
meeting; also that meeting for servant
girls be held weekly or monthly, as
conditions permit; that everywhere our
unions urge the White Cross movement
upon the attention of Young Mems
Christian Associations; that our unions
inform themselves of all
our statutes bearing upon Social Purity
and of the administration under them in
order that preparations may be made
for any legislative work, the interest
Of the cause may demand.
Though the time is short before the
National Convention, in November, it is
hoped that Wisconsin will be able to
report at that meeting at least a good
of work in this important line
If effort. EMMA c. BAscoM.
